Polygonal knot space near ropelength-minimized knots
Kenneth C. Millett, Michael Piatek, Eric J. Rawdon
For a polygonal knot K, it is shown that a tube of radius R(K), the polygonal thickness radius, is an embedded torus. Given a thick configuration K, perturbations of size r<R(K) de…

Self-contact Sets for 50 Tightly Knotted and Linked Tubes
Ted Ashton, Jason Cantarella, Michael Piatek +1
We report on new numerical computations of the set of self-contacts in tightly knotted tubes of uniform circular cross-section. Such contact sets have been obtained before for the…

Moebius energy of thick knots
Eric J. Rawdon, Jonathan Simon
The Moebius energy of a knot is an energy functional for smooth curves based on an idea of self-repelling. If a knot has a thick tubular neighborhood, we would intuitively expect t…
